Who is responsible for deciding the action to take on the findings and recommendations of the Disciplinary and Adjustment Board?

• A. Brig Officer
• B. Assistant Warden
• C. Legal Counsel
• D. Disciplinary and Adjustment Board Chair

Answer: (A)

The Brig Officer holds the authority to decide actions on the findings and recommendations of the Disciplinary and Adjustment Board. The board’s role is to investigate, determine facts, and propose appropriate measures, but the final disciplinary decision rests with the Brig Officer who has the command-level authority to enforce discipline. Legal Counsel provides legal review to ensure due process and legality, and the Board Chair leads the proceedings and presents findings and recommendations, but neither sets the final action. The Assistant Warden handles administrative aspects and implementation after a decision is made, not the final determination itself.
